Anka Kočevar (1982) graduated in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana. She illustrates books and texts for the Ciciban, Cicido, and Galeb children’s literary magazines. In her illustrations she explores different directions of artistic expression, which sometimes leads her to a dramatically realistic drawing, and at other times to flat collages with a humorous or lyrical nature. She received a Special Mention at the Slovenian Biennial of Illustration for her illustrations in the documentary film A Thousand Hours of Bitterness for a Single Hour of Joy. The book All Sorts of Parents and Children, which she illustrated, was nominated for the Book of the Year Award at the Slovenian Book Fair, as well as the Desetnica Award. In addition to illustrating literature, she also works in the fields of animated film and comics.
